Spending Suggestions

The BPA now has a new fund created from various fundraising efforts. How this money will be spent will be decided by a small new committee made up of teachers and parents. We are looking for any suggestions from the community. Some of the ideas put forward so far include:

- Additional planting for contemplative garden
- Further books for all libraries
- Specialist magazine subscriptions
- Money put towards a bigger project - possibly building
- Fund a trip to help the connection school in Swaziland
- Re-print one or more John Badley books now out of print
- Create a fund for teachers to take specialist professional development courses
- More outdoor furniture (benches etc) outside the boarding houses
- Indoor games equipment for Common Room e.g. table football
- Equipment for the Music Schools
- Materials for development of the Green Bedales
- Film editing equipment

All suggestions are very welcome - if you are a parent, teacher or student please write to us as soon as possible.
